Home Bargains shoppers rush to buy 'amazing' 89p pumpkin spiced coffee
Once autumn arrives, pumpkin spiced drinks quickly become a beloved beverage for many. Coffee fans can usually pick up a cup of the stuff at stores like Starbucks, Greggs and Costa.
However, it's no secret that the drink can be costly, even for a small size. At Starbucks, customers can get a tall pumpkin spiced latte for £4.65, while Costa's autumnal offerings start at £3.95.
But pumpkin fans will be pleased to know Home Bargains is now offering its own wallet-friendly fix. Shoppers can grab a box of Mokate Gold Premium Pumpkin Spice Latte flavoured coffee for a mere 89p.

Each box contains eight sachets, providing a simple yet satisfying DIY experience. All you need to do is stir in hot water, with the option of adding milk, resulting in a homemade autumnal treat that doesn't break the bank.
Taking to Instagram, Home Bargains announced the product to its 1.1 million followers. "Tell me it's Autumn, without telling me it's Autumn," the store wrote in the caption, reports the Mirror.
The social media engagement was immediate, accumulating numerous likes and comments. Chloe enthused: "They taste gorgeous!!!", Alice commented: "Oohhh I need to go and get some of these." Ellise tagged a friend, insisting: "FIND THEM."
A description of the drink online reads "Enjoy Mokate Gold Pumpkin Spice Latte this fall! This limited edition instant coffee is available in easy-to-use sachets, allowing you to quickly enjoy the taste of pumpkin spice."
The 89p box, which contains eight sachets, equates to a around 11p per cup. This means that fans of Starbucks and Costa can save close to £4 per serving.
Pumpkin spiced lattes are typically made with pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, milk and espresso. You can create your own version by adding two teaspoons of pumpkin puree into a large heatproof glass or mug.
Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and stir together with espresso or strong coffee. Warm some milk in a saucepan on low heat until it steams and turns frothy. Pour the milk into a cup, followed by the spiced coffee mixture and enjoy.
The news comes shortly after Home Bargains announced it would close all stores for two days later this year. On social media, fans were told shops would shut on Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
The retailer explained: "We would like to thank all our staff for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones."
